Potato Masala - Madurai Arya Bhavan Style.

My sincere thanks to Saravanan dha for giving me the recipe. This one is sure hit. I am still amazed about the taste as this has no onion, tomato nor ginger garlic but the aroma is so distinct and delicious.

Here goes the recipe:

Parboil 4 medium size potatoes in water adding salt. Do not overcook the potatoes. cube them. Deep fry the cubed potatoes in mix of oil and ghee(1/2 and 1/2) to golden brown.  Transfer all the oil into a cup and heat say 3 tbsp of oil ghee mix, to this add coriander, cumin, chilli powder and garam masala powders(1 tbsp, 1/2 tbsp, 1 tbsp or more-suit your spice level, a pinch respectively).

Do not brown them add 2 cups of water and required salt. Allow it to boil for 5 mts. Add the fried potatoes to this. Cook this on a medium flame for 5 mts and simmer to reduce. 

You may go wrong at these places:

1. over cooking the potatoes resulting in a soggy curry

2. browing the masalas resulting in a bitter curry

If taken care you will end with a delicious dish.
